Broken Trust

by Jay-Ar Fortunado

We shared a secret, just you and me,

Like a small whisper under a big tree.

I thought all was safe, a friendship true,

But the secret is revealed, what can we do?

My heart is sad, like a sunken sea,

Because the promise, disappeared, you see?

Trust takes a while, like building a sandcastle tall,

But it can break fast, with just one small fall.

I wish I didn't tell you my secret

So that I won't feel like I'm being cheated

I can't understand this feeling

It's like my heart is aching

We can still be friends, that's what I believe,

But next time a secret, we'll work to retrieve

The trust that was lost, like a kite in the breeze,

And build it up stronger, with honesty, please.
